# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main illustration shows a woman on a bicycle with the caption "INWARD APPREHENSION," depicting anxious body language. This satirizes late-19th-century concerns about women cycling—a new, controversial activity. The accompanying text "I wonder if dat husban' o' mine had sense 'nuff too look aftah de fah while he's bin wash-in' dishes?" suggests anxiety about gender role reversal: husbands managing domestic work while wives enjoy independent leisure activities. The page contains numerous brief satirical snippets mocking contemporary figures and politics, including references to Lord Salisbury, Russian politics, and American political candidates. The humor relies on topical references now requiring historical context to fully appreciate, though the general satirical tone critiquing social pretension and political hypocrisy remains evident.

WATTERSON advises “the rock-ribbed Democrats” of Kentucky to trust in God and try it again. Trust in—h'm! What's the matter, colonel ? MAX O'RELL says he likes to “strew' flowers at the feet of the Ameri- can women.” A very sensible man; and the more so as he hasn't a title to provoke suspicion of his sincerity. THE WIFE of a New Haven clergyman says she would rather send her son to hell than to Yale college. The lady is too hasty. What does she know about the curriculum of the former establishment ? JOHN SHERMAN having renounced his desire to be president, a num- ber of newspapers have made him their candidate for the position. The way to win is to pass a resolution to come in last or to shoot the track. BEATEN AT SEA, Dunraven is now taking many stripes, from the press of the universe, over the bare back.

HE CASES of Durrant and Holmes afford hope that that vastly larger murderer, the sultan, may some day meet with retribution, Of course, however, he can’t be executed. He is too big a murderer for that; for, as the reader doubtless has observed. the greater the criminal the greater the immunity. HER BLAWSTED DIGNITY. NE OF THE, BARNES BROTHERS of Albany, as we learn from the Buffalo Express, cabled the queen, when Thurlow Weed died, “Grandpa is dead”; but the more pathetic part of the incident is that the proud, haughty woman never shed a return message or a tear. And yet people talk of a fusion between Britannia and the United States. NO MONARCHY THERE. REFUGEE MONARCHISTS in Europe are trying to restore the mon- archy to Brazil. It would be as easy to lift the peak of the late Mr. Pike with a tooth-pick. The republicans of Brazil will eat each other up with ghoulish glee before they permit a resumption of that kind. They want it understood that Brazil is their funeral and no potentate’s. THE LITTLE KNOWLEDGE. COLLEGE GIRL laments that while the woman of the period wants to look up to her husband, there is no husband worthy of the honor, There are some kinds of limited education that develop nothing but a foolish egotism and a sublime complacency. These results disappear, however, if the victim can manage somehow to learn a little more, BLOOD! W MUST remind Sackville. West that our Don M, Dickinson calls him an ass. Not only that, but Mr. Dickinson says he is an infernal ass, the very worst possible animal of that kind. Possibly the charge is cor- rect. If it is not correct we feel sure that Sackville- West will call Mr. Dickinson out and do a It- tle jingo business of his own. A GRAVE NECESSITY. THE IMPRESSION is gain- ng that Mr, Cleveland can have it if he wants it. Prob- ably, indeed, he can't get rid of it if he doesn’t want it. His party is in the condition of the man who swapped thirty of his sixty acres of bad land fora calf, ~The owner of the calf couldn't read,” suid the real-estate person in-an account of the transaction, “and in making out the deed | put the whole sixty acres on him.” DAVID. MB: BILL has concluded not to go back to the senate. ‘The times are not favorable to that part of his ambition. But he has a fine supply of the presidential article and he knows how to use it. For it really must not be supposed that Mr. Hill is buried again, If, indeed, he were buried he is so used to it that he could easily dig himself up. No; it must not be supposed that we have heard the last of Mr. Hill, He is young and he is a good deal of a man IT DOESN’T EXPLAIN. MBS. LIVERMORE explains the small vote for suffrage in Massachu- setts by the assumption that the women were afraid of their hus- bands. Tut, tut! That is palpably weak and almost wholly untrue. It is just worth mentioning that there are many more women than men in the Bay state, and most of them think. Is it true that the Massachusetts woman is a coward? And must it be said, “Who would be free must get somebody else to strike the blow WATER AND BARBARISM, A LECTURER shows a picture of a man with a keg, and says, * Were this in Paris there would be wine in the keg; in Berlin, beer; in London, ale; in America, whisky; but in Constantinople the keg con- tains ulways water;” and he adds that among one hundred and eighty million Mohammedans in the world there is not a drunkard. Very well Water and sobriety must go. That is an attack upon them which must have an awful influence throughout the civilized world. comicbooks.com
